Number of Patients Achieving an Improvement (Decrease) in IGA (Investigator Global Assessment) by Two or More Points
2 participants

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 12 weeks

EASI scores range from 0 to 72, with higher scores reflecting greater disease severity. Erythema, edema, lichenification, and excoriations/erosions are scored on a scale of 0 (none) to 3 (severe) on 4 anatomic regions of the body: head, trunk, upper limbs, and lower limbs. Degree of involvement on each of the 4 anatomic regions is scored on a scale of 0 to 6. The total qualitative score is multiplied by the degree of involvement for each anatomic region and then multiplied by a constant and summed to yield the EASI score.
